Chopdat back with Gunners

Chopdat, who is also a prominent businessman, was involved with the Gunners' management since the 80s.

Actually, his involvement with the team started in the late 70s when he was still a Lobatse Secondary School student.  This was at the time when Gunners was in the lower divisions before gaining promotion to the then First Division.  It must have evoked fond memories for Chopdat when Gunners lifted the Coca-Cola Cup last week.  It was during his reign as the manager that the team tasted major victory. Gunners lifted its major trophy in 1989 after winning the President's Day Cup, which was sponsored by Barclays Bank.  During this time, Chopdat also used to finance the team in order to recruit top quality players.
